It's enough of a problem that the first thing that I look at when I'm thinking of purchasing a book from Amazon is the size of the download. If the details of that aren't available, I download a sample and check. A big tip-off is if the book is published by St. Martin's Press. They're the big users.

Interesting, I had not heard that before. Embedding a font will certainly make the file bigger but I would suspect for most eBooks it would or should not be necessary. I would suggest you send Amazon a message outlining the problems with the Topaz format, in particular emphasizing the performance issue. Perhaps there is something that they can do to fix it.
